Types of Solutions - Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Solutions

There are mainly two types of solutions based on their composition which are homogeneous solutions and heterogeneous solutions. This video covers these two types of solutions in detail along with examples of each.

What is a Solution?
A solution is simply a mixture which is composed of two or more substances. Based on the factors, solutions can be of various types. Homogenous and heterogenous solutions are also two solution types based on their composition.

Homogeneous Solution Meaning:
A homogeneous solution is a type of solution which has uniform properties and composition all throughout it. An example of homogeneous mixture is a a cup of coffee where all the substances like sugar, milk, and coffee powder are uniformly mixed.

Heterogeneous Solution:
A heterogeneous solution, the composition and properties are non-uniform. An example of heterogeneous solution is oil and water in which both the substances are non uniformly mixed.

There can be various other solution types based on the amount of solute added, amount of solvent added, etc. To learn all about these types of solutions in detail along with examples, click the link given below-
